Dell Precision 5510 Owner's Lounge

I see the BIOS update didnt fix the slower samsung 951 speeds atter sleep...

 

Can you elaborate on that? Haven't heard about this?

 

That's probably because of the Samsung firmware in the SSD

My 2 cents

 

Probably, but since its an OEM drive its up to Dell to release the fix if Im not mistaken.

 

Did any of you guys do any benchmarks for your Samsung 951? Seems I can't even top 1000MB/s on read and 500MB/s on write according to Crystal Disk Mark.
mlprod mentioned it has something to do with sleep mode but as I read on another forum this issue happens after 10 minutes from initial boot of Windows.
This is an OS partition and running on original drivers that Windows installed itself. Not impressed.


Benchmark has been done on system uptime of 17 hours.

 

I'm confused about the keyboard layout. I see lots of complaints here about the loss of dedicated home and end keys, but on the dell website the 5510 pictures clearly show a keyboard with dedicated home and end keys right next to the pgup and pgdown keys. See fourth picture here.

So what's going on? Did they change the keyboard layout since its release or is the pictured keyboard not the one you receive?

 

It doesn't have dedicated keys without pressing the fn-key - like on my lenovo t430s or the 7510. There are space for pgup and pgdn, but they saved it for some reason.

 

I did measures before after boot and after sleep. I got this:

 

I see the problem. The picture on the dell website is poor and you can't see the left arrow on the Home key so it looks like a dedicated key where you would not have to use a fn-key combination. You say the 7510 has dedicated keys, but from the picture I see on the dell website the 7510 also requires the fn combo for home and end.

 

Correct, 7510 does not have dedicated keys for Home/End (a major sticking point for some people).
